Last year, more than $30,000 in cash, trophies and contingency awards was distributed at the annual
MGR banquet.

MGR will host its annual Universal Technical Institute High School Challenge on Sunday. Students will
drag race in street-legal cars, competing for bragging rights against other area high schools. The
Challenge also offers aspiring young mechanics and racers an opportunity to showcase what they've
learned in automotive classrooms in front of their peers. Also on the schedule is a high school
alumni race: All past participants are welcome to compete in the special Alumni Eliminator. The
overall winner on April 27 will represent Maple Grove Raceway at the NHRA Northeast Division Summit
Racing Series E.T. Final in September.

Gates will open at 8 a.m. with time trials at 9:30 a.m.

Race entry is $25 per student. Adult spectator admission is $15, young adults (ages 13-15) are $10
and kids 12 and under are free.

Last year, York Tech student Brandon Witmeyer of Thomasville, Pa., defeated Jeremy Bartman of Daniel
Boone High School in the final.

Now in its 52nd year of operation, historic Maple Grove Raceway is recognized as a leading facility
in the sport of NHRA-sanctioned drag racing. MGR will present the Spring Bracket Nationals on May
3-4. The NHRA Nationals, MGR's annual NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series national event, will take
place on Oct. 2-5.
